New Beauty Splurges and Steals
I’m back with a New Splurges and Steals! I have a mix of cruelty free items that I love that some of you may consider a splurge, so I paired them up with other comparable products that I consider a steal.
Pr + purchased by me.
Finishing Powders
A. NARS Light Reflecting Loose Setting Powder – $34 for .24 oz.
You all know I love this powder and think it’s amazing. I’ve been wearing it non-stop for months.
B. Silk Naturals Vegan Perfecting Powder – $9 for 30 gram jar packed with over a tablespoon of product
I picked up this finishing powder to test out. It’s a steal for the price and the amount of product that you get!
Black Eyeliners
A. Buxom Hold the Line Waterproof Eyeliner in Jet Black – $17 for .04 oz
I love how well this black eyeliner holds up on my waterline!
B. Nyx Retractable Eye Liner in Black – $4.50
These liners also do a great job sticking around on my waterline, and they come in 15 different shades!
Smudge Pots
A. Stila Smudge Pots – $20 for .14 oz
These are fabulous for a shadow base or liner. 5 colors are currently available.
B. Darling Girl Watercolor Paint Pots – $5.25 for a 3 gram jar
These are fabulous for a shadow base for liner. 10 colors are currently available.
Cream Foundations
A. NARS Radiant Cream Compact Foundation – $38 for .42 oz
I love the way this foundation looks when it’s applied with a wet beauty blender. I wear Siberia.
B. Performance Colors Light & Smooth Foundation – $10 for .50 oz.
This really does a great job melding with my skin. I wear Snowie.
Powder Foundations
A. Cover FX Pressed Mineral Foundation – $35 for .40 oz
I love this pressed mineral foundation and I promise a review and tutorial with it soon. I wear N1.
B. Meow Cosmetics Pampered Puss Foundation – $25.95 for 22 – 30 grams in a 3 oz. jar.
My original favorite mineral foundation! I wear Inquisitive Siamese.
Eyeshadow Palettes
A. Kat Von D True Romance Sinner Palette – $36 for .40 oz (8 shadows) and mini pencil
Lots of beautiful greys and purples in this palette, making it purrrrrfect for Fall.
B. Urban Decay The Dangerous Palette – $16 for .21 oz (6 shadows) and mini gloss
Lots of dark rich shades that make it amazing for Fall.
Lip Products
A. Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Lip Tars – $18 for .33 oz
You know I love my lip tars, especially since I made some into DIY lip tar pencils.
B. Sleek Pout Paints – $6.49 for .27 oz
This is the only product on my list that I have not tried but I want to try! They’re supposed to be very similar to the Lip Tars! Peek-A-Bloo, Peachy-Keen, Mauve-Over, Lava and and Port look awesome.
What do you think of this round of Beauty Splurges and Steals? What are your favorites? What would you recommend?

This just totally proved my expensive taste. The only ones I have are from the splurge side. haha

@Cin Seven <3
Hipstermama Me too!
PolishInsomniac Agreed!
I really want to try the Pout Paints!
I love posts like these two. Usually I am debating between the two products mentioned already lol
I have always wanted to try that Buxom eyeliner! Good to know that it stays put on the waterline as well!
I like posts like this, too. They help me find affordable alternatives to the spendy stuff I love. 🙂
My makeup lust list grows ever longer. *sigh*
Your blog is bad for my budget, Phyrra.
NICE! I love posts like this – they help me make an informed decision when buying.
The sale price on that UD palette really is a steal!
I’ve always wanted to try the Sleek Pout Paints (well, any sleek items really) too. I hope you get some and review them soon.
great post!!
I love your splurge vs steals posts! I so want to try the NARS powder (but powder doesn’t like my superdry skin) so I think I’ll go with the steal and try the Silk Naturals first.
